As someone who has made an amazing living in this industry and helped women feel their best with lash extensions, it’s important to us that the record is set straight on the top myths in our industry. These myths have been perpetuated by media, and unfortunately make many potential customers nervous. But, have no fear - We’re here to set the record straight and bust these myths wide open!

MYTH: Your Eyelashes WILL FALL OUT

First things first, your eyelashes fall out anyways. You just don’t realize it because they’re small and fine, but our natural lashes fall out every four to six weeks just like the hairs on our head. Eyelash extensions only get a bad rap because it’s more noticeable to spot natural eyelashes that have shed when they’re glued to long, thick, synthetic, and solid black fibers, and people don’t realize the process is normal and not a result of extensions.

MYTH: Your Eyelashes WILL NEVER GROW BACK

Your eyelashes will, in fact, grow back. Because of the lash shedding cycle, new natural eyelashes are always growing in, hence why you get “fills.”  If eyelash extensions really made your eyelashes cease growing, refills wouldn’t even be possible, because there has to be a natural lash for the extension to adhere to.

MYTH: IT HURTS SO BADLY!

Take it from someone who has gotten them done several times: Nothing about the process hurts! It’s not a matter of tolerance levels; there simply is no pain involved in the eyelash extension process. If you are worried about someone using tweezers close to your eyes, you might feel anxiety, but pain is not part of the deal.

MYTH: Your natural eyelashes will BECOME THINNER

Many people feel that their natural lashes get thinner or shorter afterwards, but it’s essentially an optical illusion. So, understandably, you think your eyelashes are thinner and shorter after the extensions have ended. In actuality, that is not the case and getting extensions has no chemical effect on the thickness or length of the lashes you were born with.
